Book Clubs

So some people in my apartment complex and I decided to start a book club for this upcoming semester. With the demands of school, work, and everything else that may come up, it is hard to find that time to read. We felt by having a book club, it will motivate us to find the time to read for fun, even when a million things seem to take away that time.

If you are interested in starting a book club, which I highly recommend because it gets you to discuss the elements of the book with your friends and continue to read, here are some websites that will help:

Book Clubs Resources
Oprah's book club
Book Club Sets at the Provo Library

There are a lot more resources, but check your local libraries for book clubs and book clubs sets for your friends. There are books located in Barnes and Noble or Borders that have an outline of a book club as you get started. The main idea is to have each person taking turns "hosting" a book that month.They pick the book, have the discussion at their house with treats for the guests, and come up with discussion topics about the book. There are online book clubs that you can join, but I recommend getting one started on your own with some friends. That way you can vary the books chosen, or even theme them if you want.
